World CO2 emissions may be peaking - I'm sure I'll catch a lot of flak for posting this

6. Yeah, no . . . .

The United States alone produced more oil in each of the past six years than any other country in history in any one-year period.

That oil will be used (burned), along with everybody's else's oil, and the last 5-10% of the CO2 produced by all this "growth" will not be reabsorbed by the biosphere for another 20,000 years . . .

And even if direct anthropogenic CO2 emissions began dropping around tea-time today, it would do little to nothing to cut the contributions from flaming forests, burping bogs, and slowly declining marine CO2 uptake.
